Careful burning

Zero rainfall so far this April for most of Iowa.
Most Iowan's believe that the US constitution guarantees life, liberty, and the right to burn every ditch, ravine, and terrace that looks brown in the spring. Perhaps it would be best not to exercise this right for the next couple of days as conditions are very dry and a strong southerly wind could quickly cause your fire to burn out of control.
